Harvey Award winning writer Sean Michael Wilson and Swedish artist Hanna Stromberg have teamed up with us here at Scar Comics to bring to readers our first autobiographical Graphic Novel “Once Upon A Time In Morningside”. This charming and beautifully illustrated book collects 14 anecdotal little stories from Sean’s childhood in the Edinburgh town of Morningside and marks a new direct and extra dimension to the Scar Comics collection of titles. Originally from Scotland, writer Sean Michael Wilson is a well travelled fellow, who has now settled in Japan where he writes Mangas for various publishers. However this story is a return to his roots as he goes back and shares with us those magical childhood stories that shaped him and made him the man he is today.

We are very proud to announce our latest Graphic Novel – Unfinished City by Scar Comics regular Benjamin Dickson, writer of the award winning Falling Sky and acclaimed Slumdroid series of books.

Acclaimed Writer Benjamin Dickson – Co Author of Unfinished City

This time we are delving into the seedy underworld of Montenegro in this powerful Crime thriller co written by native creator Sylvija Martinović and drawn by cult Croatian artist Robert Solanović.

This incredible creative team have been devoting their time to this book for over a year now and this week we have finally launched our latest Kickstarter campaign to help make it happen.

The star of our new book Nadja

The story centres on a young woman called Nadja Djurkovic who is a British Citizen from Montenegro, travelling home for the first time in a decade. Called by a letter from her sister, Nadja arrives to find that her sister was murdered just two weeks before.

Stricken by grief, Nadja starts to investigate the crime, and quickly discovers all is not as it seems. Her home town has changed; the fall of communism a decade before has been replaced with corruption and organised crime. Everybody knows the murder was pinned on the wrong man – and the true murderer may well be the most powerful man in the city…

That’s right folks. Scar Comics are now joining other top publishers on Comixology, the worlds leading distributor of digital comics.

Our first title to go online is: “Slumdroid: The Girl With The Hole in Her Head” by Ben Dickson and Tony Suleri and it’s being offered at the super low price of just $2.99 or £1.99 so you save a massive £4.00 compared to the printed version.

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend at the Lakes Comic Art Festival. The event attracted hundreds of new faces to the medium of comics. It really was a pleasure to introduce new readers, not just to our books, but to the comic in general.

Next stop… Thought Bubble. We won’t be exhibiting but we’ll be there looking for new creators and new books to publish.

Scar Comics are offering something pretty unique to aspiring comic artists and writers in conjunction with the Forgotten Planet Kickstarter campaign, which now has less than 2 weeks to run:

For just £30 pledged on Kickstarter, you not only get a copy of the book signed by the writer Peter Rogers, but you can also get either a 1 hour portfolio review from Scar Comics Publisher and Editor on the book Shane Chebsey or a full writing tutorial from Peter.

“The great thing about this reward is that by helping the new book get off the ground, you may also be helping yourself to a new career in comics, as if the campaign is successful Scar Comics will be looking for a new writer and artist team for our next project” said Publisher Shane Chebsey

The Tutorial and review will be conducted on-line either via Skype or email, depending on what the creator prefers.

The cover to the new book by Giancarlo

To find out how you can get your review and a copy of the new book with stunning art by Marvel and DC artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo check out the campaign here:

That’s right folks, the first Scar Comics Kickstarter campaign has now launched with the 100 page Science Fiction Graphic Novel Forgotten Planet by writer Peter Rogers and artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo.

This one’s got it all: A mystery, action, adventure and kick ass aliens. Not to mention great artwork from Giancarlo, who has worked for most of the major European and American comics publishers, since his first work was published in 1982 in his native Italy. His bold, energetic artwork has been seen in the likes of Jonah Hex, Gorilla Man, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Random Acts of Violence. His work gives this project a unique style and voice, and we are very proud to have such a respected professional on board.

“Giancarlo is one of those classic talents largely lost to this modern world, building new worlds fully realized with weight and depth as if they’d always existed.” – IVAN BRANDON

“Giancarlo is a master storyteller and one of the freshest talents coming out of Europe at the moment. There is a reason I have worked with him over and over.” – JIMMY PALMIOTTI

“Having worked with Giancarlo on multiple projects including a successful kickstarter, I not only admire the quality of his illustrations, storytelling and professionalism, but also his dedication to seeing a a project through to the end. Plus he’s a great guy.” – JUSTIN GRAY

“Giancarlo was a pleasure to work with on Marvel’s Gorilla Man. In that series he was tasked with delivering monkeys holding big guns, beautiful femme fatales, insane tech, multiple time eras, and elaborate action set pieces. He delivered with uncompromising dedication and flair . Giancarlo’s a dynamic storyteller who puts characterization and atmosphere before anything else. His urgent line work is stylish and satisfying. He really can draw just about anything, and he makes it look easy too.” – MICHAEL HORWITZ
